Tested and Trusted Safety Integrity Solutions & Solenoid Valves

Functional safety is focused on reducing the level of risk in a device or system by identifying potentially hazardous conditions and enabling corrective actions to avoid or reduce the impact of an accident. It depends on active, automatic safety technology to respond to a potentially dangerous situation.

Emerson delivers ASCO functional safety solutions by providing redundancy, manual resets, and industry-certified pilot and solenoid valves. Our valves are SIL 3 capable certified by Exida or TÜV per IEC 61508. 

Materials are corrosion resistant and built for high-reliability applications. Features include self-testing capabilities to diagnose issues before they can interrupt operations and a fault-tolerant pilot valve system.

Emerson provides the most current safety solutions to meet desired Safety Integrity Levels.

Why Choose Emerson’s Functional Safety Solutions?

Avoid Unnecessary Shutdowns

Safety shutdown systems must be dependable and work on demand, but spurious trips of critical process valves can result in costly, unplanned shutdowns, and reduce process availability. Emerson’s ASCO redundant control systems and TopWorx sensing technology can help you to maintain plant safety levels, while allowing online maintenance and automated testing. This can prevent unplanned downtime and ensure your process remains uninterrupted and safe. 

Faster, Online Maintenance

Valve and system maintenance can be time consuming and interrupt the process and cause downtime. Emerson’s comprehensive set of valve piloting and monitoring solutions in multiple architectures help ensure reliable valve operation while making online maintenance a safe, seamless operation. Our ASCO solenoid valves are designed for easy replacement, resulting in quick maintenance, minimized downtime and reliable processes — without compromising safety levels.

Streamlined Supply Chains

Producers are often forced to purchase components from multiple suppliers, which increases costs and hurts productivity and production schedules. By providing certified pre-packaged, redundant architectures that include industry-proven solenoid technology, position sensing products, and accessories. Emerson’s solutions simplify your application while reducing supply chain complexity. Our partnership saves you time and expense without any sacrifice of safety or productivity.
